no its white.....bad move rax....(born Priscilla Maria Veronica White on May 27, 1943)Although her first name was often shortened to "Cilla", her stage name came about by accident when local music paper Mersey Beat misprinted her name as Cilla Black, but she liked the sound and decided to use it professionally.so it seems billy harrys paper is responsible for cilla black....

I gave Cilla the name 'White' in Issue No. 1 of Mersey Beat. Brian offered to manage Beryl Marsden, but she turned him down. I asked John if he could give Beryl a Lennon/McCartney number when we were having a drink at the Blue Angel one night and he said they had a number that would suit her called 'Love Of the Loved.' A few nights later he apologised to me saying that Brian had stopped him giving the number to Beryl because he was their manager and he would decide who would be given their numbers to record - and he gave that number to Cilla as her debut disc.
